Chapter XVIII. Ambush (Part I) (3rd Update!) )
"Tell me, what's going on?" Chopin sat on the stone chair in the council hall and asked with a somewhat solemn face. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The burly figure in front of him was none other than Kit, who had been promoted to military minister by him half a month ago.
And the reason why Chopin used Kit so decisively was naturally because of the academy from which the other party graduated - the Saint-Cyr Military Academy!
The Saint-Cyr Military Academy of France, also known as the Saint-Cyr Military College, is the most important military school in France, which is an ancient and famous military academy that can be compared with the United States Army West Point Military Academy and the British Sandhurst Military Academy.
Founded in 1803 by Napoleon, the invincible hero who single-handedly fought against the whole of Europe, this prestigious military academy is the first professional military education school in France to train infantry and cavalry officers.
In the two centuries since its foundation, it has provided the French Army with a total of nearly 60,000 excellent officers, which, as Napoleon put it, is "the nursery of the generals". Almost all the senior generals of the army were born at the Saint-Cyr Military Academy, and the desire to become a cadet of Saint-Cyr has attracted generations of French-blooded youth.
And after Chopin appointed Kit as military minister, he was not disappointed by the other party's outstanding performance, integrating the army, recruiting militia, and building military defenses...... All kinds of difficult things were handled by the other party in an orderly manner.
"Your Majesty, five ships are rapidly approaching the island, and it is estimated that there are no less than hundreds of people on board."
"What, is there any difficulty in coping with it?" Chopin knew that the man sent by the Count of Forders to pursue him was coming, but his face was silent.
"Your Majesty, if the Empire's artillery regiment is established, it will be quite easy to deal with these guys, but now it ......"
Hearing the other party's tone of wanting to speak and stopping, Chopin also sighed a little helplessly, in "Imperial Total War", whether it is the line infantry as the main force of the head-to-head confrontation, or the cavalry that spans thousands of miles, the strength of the soldiers of the French Empire is among the best in the whole of Europe, but the reason why France is the foundation of the strongest empire in Europe is because of their invincible artillery, the most powerful 24-pounder guard gun is a nightmare for all countries in Europe.
"Even if the invincible artillery of the French Empire has not yet been established, it will not take much effort to deal with this group of clowns jumping in front of you."
"Up to ...... A little more troublesome. ”
Just when Chopin was a little worried, Kitt's extremely calm voice sounded again, and his tone was full of confidence and arrogance.
Chopin paused for a moment, and then reacted, yes, they are the fearless French Empire, they once crisscrossed the entire European continent, even if it was the former "empire on which the sun never sets", when facing the extremely powerful France, there are times when they have to bow their heads.
Even if the current French Empire has not yet recovered its former glory and glory, the pride that once crisscrossed the European continent has been injected into their bodies, like a brand deep in their backbones, and now they are only dealing with some stragglers from nowhere, what can they be afraid of and fear?
"Understood, in that case, Kit, next...... I'll teach you it all. Chopin was silent for a moment before speaking again.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty."
As the heroic and steady sound gradually dissipated, only the sound of footsteps in the spacious conference room was still echoing.
*********
As the distance continued to shrink, the originally blurry black spot in front of him was also enlarged little by little, and Damathieu, who was originally sitting on the bow of the boat, couldn't help but stand up at this time.
It was that small island, on that hill, that pirate regiment that he had so hard founded was washed clean by the black torrent in a matter of moments, and one pirate after another was harvested like weeds, and finally all fell in a pool of blood, and at that moment of life and death, he had to abandon his pirates and return to the territory of the Earl of Forders in embarrassment.
If it weren't for that damn group of cavalry, I'm afraid that he would have already dealt with Sherlay and taken the box back at this time, he might have become a small nobleman at this time, and he was living happily on a drifting island, how could he have fallen to such a pitiful state as he is now.
"Those damned cavalrymen, and Sherlay, that bastard bitch...... "The closer he got to the island, the anger in Damache's heart grew, like a churning ocean, as if an unprecedented storm was brewing.
But just when he was drenching the blood of the group of cavalry and the dogs scolded by Sherlay in his heart, the group of death-like figures resurfaced in his mind.
The tall war horse, the sharp saber, the elite cavalry that charged with invincible momentum, in an instant, made the group of pirates under his command lose their combat power, the devilish figure raised the blade high, ruthlessly wielded, and the dazzling white light seemed to gently cross his neck......
"Huhu......" Damathieu gasped fiercely, for some reason, he suddenly had a feeling of palpitations, as if the scythe of death had hung over his head, and it could take his life at any time.
"Brothers, the island ahead, that is the goal of our trip, as long as we take back the treasure chest of the Purple Rose family, whether it is the golden treasure or those snow-white and smooth beauties, we will be able to choose when the time comes!"
"Whew......"
The pirates on the ship let out a roar like a wolf's howl, and under this atmosphere, everyone's faces immediately turned red, as if the drifting island ahead had buried countless treasures.
"Lord Coster, are you going to land on the island or stay here, but I don't think you should have to deal with those guys."
Even when facing the butler of the Earl of Fordes, Charles, the notorious pirate leader, seemed to be unruly, but at this time, when facing this figure who did not know what his identity was, he was as obedient as a kitten, although his voice was still extremely stable, but anyone could feel the deep fear under the calm.
"It's just a deserted island that has just been discovered and has not yet been explored, where will there be any strong enemies, Charles, go and get the treasure chest back, the Earl will not treat you badly." The figure under the black robe glanced at the island in front of him, and said with some interest, and his hoarse voice sounded particularly harsh.
